The parking was a little problem. We have a pickup truck and fitting that into unit number 5 was a problem. After unloading we just parked in the street, No problem, the motel is on a corner so there are two streets to park on and because it was winter the motel owner made sure we parked on the correct side of the street .thank you.

Not a new place, but we've stayed here numerous times over the years. It's a tad dated but clean and convenient to Ely explorations. The parking lot is a bit cramped though, especially when people park pickups in it. Comfortable beds and small town homey character.

Ely is cool!

We've stayed many times. The beds aren't as comfy as home, but we're not getting any younger, so kind of to be expected... All in all a good stay.

Small, modest rooms but surprisingly clean and well-kept. I slept well and bathroom was very clean. Owners have done a nice job updating this older property. Good value. Several good food options just 5 min away.

I am originally from Ely. I have stayed at many places there…. But this was my first time there. I was pleasantly surprised at the room. First of all… it was clean ! The bed was comfortable…. The water pressure was awesome and there was plenty of hot water ! Also had a microwave and a refrigerator…. Plus a coffee maker. I would stay here again…..
